The Sons of God in Bible and Quran

The Sons of God in the Bible:

The sons of God married the daughters of men giving rise to mighty men of renown.

Genesis 6:2

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Genesis 6:4

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

The sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. All the sons of God shouted for joy when the morning stars sang together. Scientifically speaking, there are no morning stars or night stars; stars are stars. Also, stars do not sing.

Job 1:6

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

Job 2:1

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

Job 38:7

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

How would you become the sons of God?

Psalm 29:1

[A psalm of David.] Ascribe to the Lord, O mighty ones, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

Psalm 103:20

Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.

John 1:12

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Romans 8:14

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Romans 8:16

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Romans 8:19

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Romans 8:21

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Romans 9:26

And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

Galatians 3:26

[Sons of God] You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2:15

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

1 John 4:4

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 John 5:2

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

We should be called the sons of God

1 John 3:1

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

We the sons of God shall be like him

1 John 3:2

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

Psalm 89:6

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

The sons of God do not die, they are like Angels.

Luke 20:36

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

He will gather together in one the children of God

John 11:52

And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

The peacemakers are the sons of God

Matthew 5:9

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

Who are not the children of God?

1 John 3:10

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

The Israelites are the sons of God.

Hosea 1:10

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

Psalm 82:6

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Moses is the great among the Israelites.

Deuteronomy 34:10

And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,

However, Moses was the servant (slave) of the Lord. This is mentioned in the Bible 16 times. Slave is the exact translation of the Hebrew word "ebed" which is translated as "servant"!

Deuteronomy 34:5

So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.

Joshua 1:1

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

Joshua 1:13

Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.

The Sons of God in the Quran:

Very strongly and clearly, the Quran denies and condemns that the Almighty Lord, the Creator has son or sons.

All Muslims are like the great Israelite prophet Moses, no more than slaves of the Almighty Lord, the Creator.

The Quran considers saying that the Almighty Lord, the Creator has Son or sons is an unforgiving sin that ultimately leads to an eternal punishment in the hell.

Surah 2:116-117

[116] They say: "Allah hath begotten a son": Glory be to Him, nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders worship to Him.

[117] To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: when He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: "Be," and it is.

Surah 10:68-69

[68] They say, "Allah hath begotten a son!" Glory be to Him! He is Self-Sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrant have ye for this! Say ye about Allah what ye know not?

[69] Say: "Those who invent a lie against Allah will never prosper."

Surah 17:111

Say: "Praise be to Allah, Who begets no son, and has no partner in (His) dominion: nor (needs) He any to protect Him from humiliation: yea, magnify Him for His greatness and glory!"

Surah 23:91

No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have Lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!

Surah 43:81-83

[81] Say: "If (Allah) Most Gracious had a son, I would be the first to worship."

[82] Glory to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne (of Authority)! (He is free) from the things they attribute (to Him)!

[83] So leave them to babble and play (with vanities) until they meet that Day of theirs, which they have been promised.

Surah 19:88- 95

[88] They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"

[89] Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

[90] As if the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin.

[91] That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.

[92] For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.

[93] Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allah) Most Gracious as a servant.

[94] He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly.

[95] And every one of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgment.

Back to the main topic of my series of articles (1- 59); this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible "? And which book contradicts with the sciences.
